William's house is hidden in the fields between Camembert and Villmoutiers. He lives in a beatiful typical Normandie house. It's very cosy and decorated with love and simplicity. William is a super welcoming and interesting host. We had inspiring conversations around a delicious breakfast in the morning. Our stay in Normandy would not have been the same without staying at William. Thank you again for everything.

A charming and unique accommodation in a peaceful, countryside location. The 3 metre walk to the bathroom in the middle of the night gave us an amazing view of the night skies. Eric was a great host and offered to make dinner reservations for us at a nearby restaurant. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience staying with Eric in Camembert. The listing is exactly as advertised - perhaps even better because there's no way to capture the view that comes part and parcel with the gite. Overlooking Camembert, which is not more than a five minute drive away, the view down into the valley is gorgeous and the property itself bursting with colorful flowers. The gite has a nice two-burner setup and refrigerator and pots and pans enough to cook a pleasant meal. It is warm, cozy, and itself has a great view of the outside. There is a shared bathroom in an adjacent building that has all modern amenities. And the Wi-Fi works as well. Eric himself is a most welcoming host. He greeted us and made himself available to any of our needs upon arrival, and answered questions about the area, as well as giving some pointers about where to go and what places could be skipped for being too touristy. All in all, we had a wonderful time and could not more highly recommend Eric as a host.

This home is a product of hard work and dedication from the host, if you want a French experience this is the place for you! Sourounded by farms the home is an old French farm house with a massive fire place and lots of room for a family or 2! The hosts are great welcoming us as we arrived and giving us a full tour at the end letting us sample a bottle of local cider, we highly recommend this place for a chilled, inviting, relaxed stay

Probably the best Airbnb experience we have had. Laurence is an amazing person. Very helpful, kind and accommodating. Her place is clean, big and beautiful. We has the best time staying at her place. We hope to visit her place soon again.

Les Pommiers is a traditional property with authentic outside staircase connecting the ground and upper floor of this authentic cider press. We are set in small village, 4km from Vimoutiers famous for local cheese and cider-with stunning views over the valley, close to a network of footpaths.

We are less than 10 minutes from the village of Camembert, home of the world famous cream cheese, which is produced locally. We also have a number of local cider presses close to the house, each producing its own distinctive local brew.

We love the stunning countryside and its vast interrupted vistas, accessed by a network of footpaths. Despite its rural setting, town is only 4km and there is good access by rail to Paris from local rail stations.

We spent 2 days and 2 nights in the charming little house of Franz with our little daughter, right next to their house, with a large sloping garden and a lovely view of the church right next door. Functional cottage, toilets (sanibroyeur) has the floor in the room, small shower. Franz gave us a very warm welcome, nothing was too much trouble with us during the entire stay. Thank you very much.

Oh my, was this a great place. We stayed with Franz on the second leg of our honeymoon and the place was perfect. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen and living area were adorable. When we arrived we discovered a fridge filled with local meats, cheeses, and a cidre. The fire place, candles, and a great music selection (check out the 4-disc French artist collection!!) added to the romantic and charming nature of the place. In the backdrop of the house there is an old church, a cemetery and rolling green fields. Needless to say, we were so in love with the location. We took day trips in a rental car to Caen and Liseux and spent our other days riding bikes around Vimountiers and doing cheese and local cidre and calvados tastings. The local markets are close and have great things to bring home and cook in the well-stoked kitchen. All of our dinners were cooked in. We were so lucky to find this place and will always remember our experience there which was made so much better by our gracious hosts and the perfect lodging. Thank you, Franz! Check this place out!

We booked on the day we wanted to arrive and Franz and Geraldine could not have done more to make our stay possible. Geraldine is a warm and welcoming host and very generously filled the fridge with essentials (and a lot more) as the rural location does make popping out for a baguette and milk a bit difficult. Les Pommiers is still a work in progress as the rustic 'inside camping' feel of the outside stairs to the bedroom suggests. The loo and shower are cleverly incorporated into the upstairs bedroom - which is comfortable and bright. The main living area is small but fine for a couple - as long as you enjoy each other's company! Lovely to meet Geraldine who was so helpful in every way.

we loved the place! the area is beautiful, the house itself is really cute and the hosts are lovely! franz wasn't there during our stay but his wife geraldine was very nice and helpful to us. the house has all the basic features you might need plus some nice extra's, for example a lot of tourist maps and brochures for thinks to visit in the surrounding area. we enjoyed our stay very much and hope to return to crouttes someday!

This is a unique and serene place in a tiny village. As other reviews have indicated, this is a little on the "rustic" side, but it was in no way uncomfortable. We loved it. Lots of places to walk, beautiful small towns nearby, cider, cheese... But most of all, this is a space to relax, unwind, and feel peaceful.

Although set in the heart of the Normandy countryside , it is only 10 minutes by car to the shops , bars and restaurants at Vimoutiers. It is about 1 hour to the ferries at Caen ( Ouisterham ) and about 4 hours from Calais and the channel tunnel. There are large markets at St Pierre sur Dives ( Monday morning ) and L'aigle ( Tuesday morning ) . Plenty to see and do in the area inc horse riding and golf nearby .

Le Val Bourdon , is set in around 3 acres of land . Mostly field with a large fenced off pond. The closest house is owned by a family member so they are always there should you need any assistance.

We very much enjoyed our stay in Ticheville. The house is lovely, obviously built with love and has everything you could need - comfortable beds, good shower and even a decent set of knives ( a rare commodity in self catering!). The setting is perfectly tranquil with many birds to observe, plus we saw a family of wild boar along the road on the way back one night which was amazing. Dean and Kerri made everything simple and Dean's parents welcomed us and were helpful throughout. Thank you!

We enjoyed The Bakehouse! Very charming and authentic, with all the comfort. The place where eating out is too cute and well done. Small details (soaps, towels, children's toys, ...) make the difference. Near very nature, it is a bit 'lost' .... Thank you also for your hospitality and kindness, even though we only stayed one night.

La Retraite is a classic "colombage" cottage, fully modernized and renovated to provide all the comforts of home. This 18th century converted barn is located on a quiet country road surrounded by the hills and farms of the Pays d'Auge.

For centuries, La Retraite was used as a barn and as a cider press. My father bought it in the 1980s and it has been my getaway ever since. It is cozy, inviting and complete with all the modern facilities you need. Settled in a bucolic valley in the heart of the Pays D'Auge, La Retraite is a perfect retreat, but also a place to launch a thorough exploration of Normandy's rich history (not to mention cider and cheese!) Enjoy winters by the wood stove or summers on the sunny patio with a view of the countryside.

La Retraite is located in the Commune of Crouttes, a farming community in the heart of the Pays D'Auge. There are many walks through charming countryside to be taken locally, along the cider routes and cheese routes. With a car you can visit the lovely villages of Camembert, Orbec, and Vimoutiers. The Pay D'Auge is an hours drive from the historic Landing Beaches of D-Day, and the battlefield of the Falaise Gap is just eight miles away.
Don't miss the internationally celebrated Tibetan Monastery at Aubry-le-Panthou, the famous Bayeux Tapestry, and the open air market at St Pierre sur Dives.
The nearby Orne and Dives Rivers offer canoeing and kayaking outfits, and horse lovers will enjoy the many equestrian centres, including the Royal Haras du Pin.

We had a lovely holiday The Normandy countryside is absolutely beautifull. The house is big and the garden has a fence around it. It is very quiet, ideal to unwind. If you want to visit a village or do some shopping, you really need a car.

House located in countryside and beautiful setting without nuisance, charming cottage of 1001 sq ft, "loft" style on 3 levels, typical norman architecture.

Open space 1001 sq ft on 3 levels
Terrace 387 sq ft

Eric was a fantastic host. He and Isobelle were friendly and helpful. The accommodation was packed with character and our boys loved the barrel beds, garden, play house barrel and the horses. The opportunity to ride one of the islandic horses - Strekna - made their holiday. Everything lived up to the pictures and the view from the terrace was beautiful. I would recommend staying here to anyone looking for peace and tranquility, packed with quirky character.

Eric was the perfect host and made us feel completely at home. Everything was there that we could possibly need. He gave us useful advice regarding some trips in the neighbourhood and was very friendly. Our sons loved the accomodation and it was a great pleasure to stay there. We highly recommand this peaceful and quiet place to all our friends. Merci beaucoup! Bettina, Lars, Tristan and Bennet

Eric was there when we arrived to welcome us. We were shown around the property and the beautiful surroundings. We are still eating our delicious jam that he gave us. Staying here is very special - sleeping in cider barrels (or the box bed) doesn't happen everyday, as does having Icelandic horses as neighbours which came over to say hello. Our daughter even got the chance to ride on one. Eric was around to answer questions and even booked us dinner in a local restaurant. We would highly recommend a stay in this place.

This is a stunning 15th century manor house, providing the perfect escape for a group of up to 13 guests. Set in acres of private grounds, it's an idyllic space for children to enjoy, topped off with a fresh spring water lake which is wonderful to swim in. For families with children, a selection of indoor and outdoor games are provided for your enjoyment.

The manor house has been carefully and lovingly restored by its owners and is set in over 60 acres of woodland and fields for you to enjoy. The property is steeped in history. The oldest part of the manoir dates from 1450 but it was extended in 1650 and was an integral part of the farming community in the area until the Second World War when it fell into ruin. The new owners fell in love with it at first sight and spent years painstakingly restoring the building and putting in the necessary creature comforts!
Inside the property boasts a spacious kitchen, equipped with aga. There is also a dining room with large table seating up to 12 guests as well as a 40 foot long living area with original inglenook fireplace. There is SKY TV as well as WIFI for those who like to ensure they remain connected during their holiday.
Up a flight of stairs, there are 3 double bedrooms as well as a room with 3 single beds, ideal for children. The double bedrooms all enjoy ensuite bathrooms whilst the children in the triple bedroom have a bathroom at the other end of the hallway. A second flight of stairs leads to the attic where there are two further bedrooms which share a wet room style bathroom. There is a large area in between these rooms which can be used as a play area for children.
Outside, there are a number of outbuildings, all providing perfect snapshots of French rural history. One of the barns still houses the original apple press used for the production of local cidre and calvados.

There are plenty of small calvados producers within a short drive of the manoir providing tastings. For those with an interest in food and drink, it's also worth visiting the cheese factories at nearby Camembert and Livarot too.
The property is easy to reach, just a 3 hour drive from Calais, and so can even be a great option for those looking for a long weekend. It's also only 40 minutes from the beautiful town of Honfleur and an hour from the sandy beaches of Cabourg, Villers sur Mer and Deauville. For those with a passion for horses, the French national stud of Haras du Pin is only 20 minutes away, whilst for those with more of a historical interest, the museum and memorial at Mont-Ormel is also nearby. This overlooks the valley where the Battle of Normandy took place in 1944.

Magic ! We had a great extended weekend in the mansion. We were 4 families and especially enjoyed that each room has its own bathroom The mansion is very comfortable, both the rooms and the common areas. We have not had good weather but the show is so nice that it has not been serious The environment is exceptional, seen on the campaign without any opposite. Go there with confidence!

In a beautiful preserved area
Between the villages of Camembert and Livarot (who gave their name to famous french cheese)
20 min from Lisieux – Less than one hour from the sea
Typical independant norman house (180 sqm)
Former press room entirely renovated in a modern way - all the comfort of a modern house
The house is on the same land where the family house is located but is completely independent
Really nice view over the countryside
Very quiet
There are two bedrooms
- Bedroom 1 - ground floor: one bed for 2 (brand new & luxury bedding) with a bathroom (shower and toilets)
- Bedroom 2 - first floor: large mezzanine (100 sqm opened on the living area which is on the ground floor): one bed for 2 (brand new & luxury bedding) with a bathroom (bath tube and toilets)
On the ground floor, you’ll also have a large kitchen- living room fully furnished (oven, washing machine, dishwasher,…)
Given the layout of the house (large staircase and opened mezzanine), we are sorry for not being able to welcome children.
We are at your disposal to provide you any further information.
A stay in St Germain is ideal to rest and visit Normandy and all that it offers: cheese dairy, manors, typical villages and markets, landing beaches,…

We had a very relaxed weeks stay at Philippe & Geraldine's property. It is a very lovely home in a beautiful location with some friendly cows for neighbours! You definitely need a car to stay here so that you can get around and see the local area. We enjoyed driving into Vimoutiers each day to get our bread & croissants from the numerous boulangeries! My only negative comments would be that there wasn't really any storage on the open mezzanine level so if two couples were staying, you'd probably need to live out of your suitcases up there. Also the bathroom on the mezzanine is completely open too (no doors). It wasn't an issue for us as we were just one couple staying with our baby, but could be for others. That said, the beauty of the setting and house really make up for any shortfalls!

Les Sablons is a charming cottage set in the heart of rural Normandy. It is surrounded by rolling green fields and valleys with contacted cows providing milk for the Camembert cheese made in the next village.
The area is tranquil and peaceful.

The cottage is set in a peaceful lawned garden with a large decked area at the rear for eating, sitting and looking at the views down the valley. There are deer in the fields and wild boar have been seen in the locality.
As well as providing a haven for a restful holiday the cottage also is used as a base for exploring Normandy with the coast just over an hour's drive away. If you are interested in the in the history then Falaise is nearby with William the Conqueror's castle which is a "must see". You can also visit the invasion beaches, Bayeux and Pegasus Bridge. Les Sablons itself is set on the hill where the Battle of Normandy finished on 21st/22nd August 1944.
Wherever you visit you will always love to return to Les Sablons and sit on the decking with a glass of wine and remember the day's events.

We had a very pleasant stay. The house of Marie Thérèse is really warm and functional, and beautiful property. The kids enjoyed the outdoor area well maintained and were able to admire the wild horses around the property. Thank you to Marie Thérèse for their hospitality and availability. We will keep great memories of this stay.

Great home in Normandy! Warm welcome by rabbits in the field, beautiful place to spend time with friends and discover including regional cheeses. The house is spacious and the fireplace is a real plus! Thank you to Maria Theresa for his clear guidance, I recommend!

About l'Oisellerie:
An old farmhouse & cider manufacture located in Le Renouard, Lower Normandy. The main house (XVIII century) and its dependence have been entirely renovated with two different styles: traditional for "l'Étang Cottage" while "The Valley Cottage" is close to contemporary style, both respecting Normand architecture, the environment and the planet!

Housing consistent with the description and photos. The cottage is very nice, well decorated, functional, well equipped. The environment is also very beautiful, beautiful ballads to do. Secluded enough to feel away from it all but at the same time 10 min from shops. Recommend!

The cottage at L'Oisellerie was picture perfect, exactly what it said on the tin. Off the beaten track, it was an ideal spot to recharge our batteries, which had been running on empty for some time. Our hostess was charming and ultra-efficient and we thoroughy enjoyed our stay. We feasted on fat, juicy brambles which were growing in abundance in the hedgerows. A family of coypu visited the pond every morning and we saw bats, owls and a woodpecker on the lawn. The cottage offered shade in intense heat on arrival and then provided a lovely warm haven on subsequent days when it rained and we relaxed in front of the fire. We thoroughly enjoyed trips to Château d'O, Exmes, Sées, the Haras du Pin, all within half an hour of the cottage. We will be back!
